Pathetic

[Felicity]

There's a heavy spirit of deception at work in the world.

Very well could be the most "innovative and original" thinker since the Reformation. He completely changed apologetics.

I've have a CD of dominion theology works , of course I love reading Gentry and Chilton gets this though I got it from a universalist if you can believe it.

Dave,

I just checked out some of those books in your top "10"...they're kind of expensive on ebay, at least compared to "normal" books! I see some of them have been republished recently (in the 90's)...do you know of somewhere else to get a good used copy?

1Tim 6:3 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, 5 useless wranglings[a] of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.[b]
6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain[c] we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Is not this is what we do, ei; godhead etc., etc.?

Let me give you some authors and categories and maybe answer any questions.

Most anything by the English, Scottish, American and Dutch puritans. Tough reading until one gets used to them. The greatest collection of non-inspired writing in existence.

Writers like J. Gresham Machen, John Murray, Abraham Kuyper, C. S. Lewis, G. K. Chesterton, Dorothy Sayers, St. Augustine, John Calvin, Frances Turretin, Jonathan Edwards B. B. Warfield, Cornelius Van Til, Martyn Lloyd Jones, John Gerstner, C. H. Spurgeon, Francis Schaeffer, R. J. Rushdoony, and Greg Bahnsen . These are just a few and it doesn't mean I agree with everything they wrote.

Of todays writers; John MacArthur, R. C. Sproul, John Piper, David Wells, John Frame, J. I. Packer come to mind.

My top ten(actually eleven) books of all time are;
"Gospel Worship" by Jeremiah Burroughs
"Grace" by Christopher Love
"Altogether Lovely" by Jonathan Edwards
"Institutes of Christian Religion" by John Calvin
"The Christian's Reasonable Service" by Wilhelmus a' Brakel
"Desiring God" by John Piper
"The Almost Christian Discovered" by Matthew Mead
"Holiness" by R. C. Sproul
"Ashamed By the Gospel" and "Reckless Faith" by John MacArthur
"Heaven Opened" by Richard Alleine

Out of the 10 only 3 authors are alive.

Great to see you have Universal Reconcilation represented in your recommendations.
